Whitney Sharpe is Miss Massachusetts USA 2016

Sharpe will have the opportunity to compete at the 2016 Miss USA Pageant where she hopes to be crowned by the reigning Miss USA Olivia Jordan from Oklahoma. The winner of Miss USA 2016 will go on to represent the United States in the Miss Universe competition.

"This journey began for me almost three years ago when I was introduced to pageantry. I was instantly hooked when I learned that as a titleholder, you have a job to be a leader and a role model for my state. Volunteerism is a huge part of my life, and I can use the title of Miss Massachusetts USA to help my community." she said
